Appreciate your honest review on the headset. In terms of these qualities, like mic, sound, and comfort, which headset would you recommend between corsair virtuoso XT, Astro a50, and Wireless options from Steelseries in the same range of price. Or you would still recommend Audeze headset. Thank you for all your videos, very informative and honest above board.

Ok this review really sold me and I went out and bought a 7x wireless since I have a Xbox series x and PS5. You’re right Techne, there’s definitely body and beauty in the sound reproduction of this headset. I had a arctis 7p previously which was amazing for directional sound but even after eq it lacked body and punch. With the smiley preset for the 7x wireless the body is instantly there and I even did a rather odd comparison. I started watching captain marvel with my audezy penrose x and halfway through switched over to the nova 7x and there is a noticeable vibratory rumble with the 7x that impressed me. Now that being said, I returned the nova 7x this morning because as beautiful as they are, that inspired me to spend the extra money for the nova pro wireless for the Xbox to use on both systems. Btw, for anyone wondering, the nova 7x has more body and vibrancy than the 7p and Chat works fine on ps5, you just can’t use the chat wheel, you’ll have to use the sound icon in the ps5 home menu. Techne, you were right about this headset, it’s beautiful

Good day Techne, Say, I'm considering buying the Nova 7's; however, what is a deal breaker for me are shallow ear cushions. I own the previous Arctis 7's, and Arctis 9's, and to be honest, I always felt that the pads on all the Arctis line were too shallow for me. Can you please tell me how the new Arctis Nova 7's compare to the previous cushion depth? Are the new ones the same, or deeper than previous headsets? I really need to know this in order to make a purchasing decision. Your help would be appreciated, and thank you.

@@kaidholakia6609 I currently bought both the arctis 7x+ and nova 7x… I really like both, my only problem with the 7x+ is that the ear cups cannot slide up and down cause they sit kind of high on my ears. Personally though I think no matter what, i am probably spending the extra $30 on deeper ear cups for both styles. I was hoping to keep the arctis 7x+ bc the headband was quite comfortable and i was saving $40… im still unsure, but I think im keeping the novas because i can adjust ear cup height.

@@theochalant374 I just received my nova 7x headset a couple weeks ago. Honestly prefer it over the 9x just due to the price and better battery life. It also has USB-C instead of micro USB. A few downsides are that the Nova does not have a metal frame like the 9X, it is made of a durable plastic, but it still feels solid. On top of that, while the 9X can connect wirelessly like a controller, you have to connect the dongle that comes with the Nova 7X to connect it to your Xbox. For other platforms however, I'm not sure, but if you're completely fine with using the USB slot on your xbox to connect the dongle, it's honestly a solid deal.

Hey Techne, been loving your Nova Pro line-up! Was looking at upgrading from the Arctis 7P+ I have to the new Novas, although I've seen little-to-none on the difference between Nova 7 Wireless, Nova 7X and the Nova 7P. I'm assuming it's just branding differences, considering they're the exact same specs on the site (Also that 7P isn't able to be used on Xbox, but 7X CAN be used on PS) Also, speaking of features; Party Volume, does the 7P version allow that for PS, or only on the 7X's for PC and Xbox? If it's available on PS I'd probably choose the 7P just considering I'm more often than not on PlayStation, that's what all my mates play on. Does the 7X support Spatial Audio like the Arctis 7P+ do?

The 7 and 7X are identical except the 7X supports Xbox and has green headband.

Buy Astros. Trust me. I judt got these and I'm unbelievably unimpressed just because the dialog sound is just horrible. I'm going to try to play with the eq's but to be honest I regret the purchase. If I still only played fps online games, I'd be satisfied but since I mostly only play story games now I don't like. But get the x ones. The chat this he talks about is not a chat mixer, it just turns down the microphone feedback (hearing your own voice when you talk but I'm coming from Astoro A50s as main so I'm completely used to that) you can still turn a different knob that adjusts chat to game and it works across all devices.

I've had 3 different headsets recently. An Astro A50 that I bought for (and loved) the charging dock, a Logitech g935 I got to replace the A50 once it's occasionally problematic firmware bricked itself, and now a Nova 7x. I'm not an audiophile, I'm fine with all 3 on sound. The g395 kept crapping out in various ways such as unresponsive mic but bot better once I uninstalled the hub software. But the signal range of the g935 was less than my A50 (despite having a larger advertised range than the A50) which lost me the ability to go upstairs to my kitchen during a work meetings. The range on the Nova 7x seems to be a little better than my a50. I'll miss the dock for convenient charging, but so far I'm quite happy with my nova 7x.

@@billchenbt i do play alot of Warzone my self. Let me say it in another way. The Blackshark V2 Pro, is a loud headset. You can turn down the volume. Its better it loud, instead of a weak headset. I got the Epos h6pro closee with the dac, and even though it has great sound, the sound was to weak. I returned the headset. Back to the razer, i got good directional sound with it. No problem at all. Vertical sound was also clear for me. I just like trying out different headset, thats why i changed to TB stelth gen 2 max. Razer is a 9/10 headset. You wont be disapointed. Best luck 👍

I have both the Nova 7x and 7p for my Series X and PS5. Sound out of the box is neutral and much better than the terrible Xbox official headset. Even EQ couldn't make Xbox headset sound good so I returned it for these Nova's. I EQ'd these very slightly to make the soundstage open up even more. Games and Music sound very nice. Some may want more bass though.

This is from a person who has experienced almost every gaming and music headset, these nova 7x are the ultimate addition to gaming and music audio headsets! Period. They are perfect! Rich and deep bass and high treble and mids! I highly recommend the nova 7x over any other gaming headset on the planet! But, also any music headset on the planet also! When you adjust that EQ setting just right, "🤯💥 boom" ,it blows my mind away. Steele series has done a fantastic job with these headset because not only due they sound superb on gaming but also sounds ultimate on music! I wouldn't have it any other way! Also did I mention that they are, and I quote: " stinkin cozy asf!" Excilante.

Personally, I still prefer the stealth 600 gen 2 max. Way easier functionality, better bass and highs, and the mic design is better and sounds way better. Turtle beach also has better battery life. For some reason steel series headsets sound too flat for my liking. I like to have the bass and treble boost that turtle beach offers to make me feel fully submerged in the game I’m playing.

The gen 2 700 was nice but for the price they’re built way to cheap. Before the cracks it would always squeak and crack when I would move them around. Didn’t like how cheap they were built.

They're not exactly the same. Besides the obvious headband color, the 7X has a larger dongle that supports Xbox as well (it has a toggle switch to switch it into Xbox mode), while the 7P has a sidetone dial instead of a chatmix dial because the PS doesn't support chatmix so that dial would otherwise be useless. But yeah, not much downside in getting the Xbox version even if you don't intend to use it on Xbox. This is *not* the case with the Nova Pro Wireless though, the Xbox version's Xbox port doesn't work on Playstation and is limited on PC (it appears as an Xbox controller, so it's 16bit instead of 24bit, doesn't work with Engine, and chatmix doesn't work with the wheel), so "always get the Xbox version" is not always correct for all Steelseries headsets.
